Regarding Primavera, Fiorentina has probably the greatest prospect of Italy right now (I don't know what to think of Mastour just yet).

Congolese Luzayadio Bangu is a 16yr old (alledgedly) CM who simply destroyed in national primavera. The best performer of the season.

Also ivory coast CF Yann Gondo is a huge prospect for them.

Juve has nothing nowhere near that talent. We have some pretty talented 17 yr old kids however, like Romagna, Vitale, Pellini and Clemenza. But the actual Primavera team is pretty trash as a whole, even though there's some interesting talent in there, like Tasos Donis, Gerbaudo, Marzouk, Barlocco, Sakor.
Africa is rising! :touched:

We should be careful judging African players at that age, many of them physically dominate. Khouma Babacar is one example, he was an absolutely monster and standout at that level around the same age, yet it has taken him up until he is 21 to have an outstanding season, and that in Serie B. You can see that in general with international tournaments as well, African teams do very well, but if you think about recent examples such as the 2007 U17 tournament, Nigeria (winners) and Ghana (3rd) barely have a notable name between them. Remember Daniel Opare, Macauley Chrisantus, Sadick Adams, Ransford Osei from the tournament, only Opare has got close to his potential.

Very true. Thing is, that kid Minala, for example - regardless of his real age, he seems to be not only athletic, but skilled. The same goes for their CF. But they definitely look better than they really are. Minala could easily be a 25yr old player.

Yeah, there are some good examples of that, ones coming through European systems. Many of the U17 players are coming straight out of African club youth teams where the techniques and training are different.
